BEDAZZLED

I stole a foxglove from the
morning woods
That doesn't make me bad
I'm good
But I stole that foxglove from
the morning woods

Its beauty fair bedazzled me
And there were many that my
eye could see
Tall spires of pink
Bewitching wild and free

The sky not even quite awake
Those sleepy purples hard to
shake
But I heard that darn old
cockerel own the air
Somewhere

Twas a morn of magic, low
slung mist
​​​​​​My trowel poised, earth's lips
to kiss
And there, that foxglove in the
morning woods

And this moment stirs afresh
with me
For I'm troubled when my eye
does see
That lovely flower there
Inside my gate

For it's spire wilts a little low
Imaginings, it may be so
But that foxgloves seems bent
lower to the earth

And I wish I could go back
some days
Maybe walk myself a different
way
For I wish I'd left that flower
there
In all its grace and standing
fair

Aye, 
I wish
I'd left it
there
withthin that woods.
